Lead Nurturing

When your business is investing a lot of time and money in generating leads, it seems counterintuitive to allow those leads to sit and go cold. Unfortunately, whether due to bandwidth, process or sales funnel gaps, this is one of the most common issues in the lead funnel. When your marketing team receives leads that have displayed lukewarm interest, those leads require strategic, thoughtful action. To offload them into a database is a recipe for dead leads (and for a cumbersome and inefficient database). To pass them on to sales before they are thoroughly vetted creates frustration and wasted time.
